The Dark Knight Rises Hugo Strange

[TheBatman072]

Yeah, let's see the guy who did the Tom Hardy Dr. Strange manip do a manip of Robin Williams as Hugo.

Here's some fodder:

Here you go:

Sweet! Viggo would be awesome as Hugo Strange.

I still prefer Hugo and Catwoman (with a side of Deadshot).

Either Viggo, Daniel Day Lewis or Hardy for Hugo.
Either Rachael or Marion for Catwoman.

If Viggo or Daniel Day Lewis played Hugo... then I think Hardy could nail Deadshot (even if only a few great scenes).

JMO.

And these reasons are, frankly, hokey and unsustainable in that the character has many iterations to play off of and reinterpret/expand upon in any fashion Nolan wishes. He's altered other characters to fit into his vision just fine, and there's plenty of good material there, whether you willfully ignore it or not.

Also, you ignored the context of my question.

I'm talking about the basic foundation of the character. You're trying to spin that. The foundation is the origin. You act as if I'm ignoring all these fascinating elements of the character yet you have yet to produce one as an example of why I should find her more interesting. You're just saying "you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." You've said nothing to back up your case at all.

Regardless of which of the two you were referencing, this still supports my point. You're focusing on one of many iterations of the character deliberately as if it's the only one that exists, and that's simply not true.

Catwoman has been revamped a lot, just like Batman has. Ignoring that and pretending that only the 'silly elements' exist is dishonest.

I'm dishonest for having an opinion. Wow. Really?

That's not what I said at all. Re-read what you quoted.

I wouldn't need to if you'd just research her properly, or you know, do something beyond focusing on antiquated, silly versions of a since-revamped character.

Some folks don't like Catwoman. I don't think they owe you anything for that. And this is a Hugo Strange thread, as Boom tried to point out earlier.

Where did I say anyone owed me anything?

These are two good images to use for anyone who would like to try and manip him into Strange or Penguin.

Yeah, funny thing there. I actually like the very very first incarnation of her the best. I'd want Nolan to do that version if he did do one. Topkapi is one of his favorite films, and Melina Mercouri's character Elizabeth Lipp is exactly the way I would want to see Catwoman played out in a Nolan movie. I wouldn't even want her to wear the cat suit, just a green dress or whatever. Maybe even a business suit like every other Nolan character. Yes, I know this should be in the Catwoman thread, but the discussion was going on here on her origin, so I thought I'd throw this in.

To keep it on topic, I love the idea of Robin Williams as Hugo Strange. I think it's about time he gets his chance at a Batman film. Seriously, I really think he CAN pull it off.

You didn't, but you're asking for some kind of reasoning that suits you as to why the guy doesn't like Catwoman, and it really is a matter of taste. But alas, one sure way to draw the ire of a lot folks around here is to say you don't like Catwoman or don't want her in TDKR. If I say I don't want to see the Riddler in the film, nobody cares. But if I say I'd rather not see Catwoman, people will take it personally and get real touchy about it. Kinda' weird.

It is weird but expected.

Anyways, I'm not really into the idea of Robin Williams playing Strange unless he completely loses all Robin Williams inside the character. Then I'd be up for it.

One of the last times Robin WIlliams totally lost all sign of Robin Williams and became totally immersed in a character, it was for a Nolan film - Insomnia. So if he were to be cast in the film there's a good chance he could do it again.

Yeah, even more so I think in "One Hour Photo." He's such a great actor when he goes for a good role (Dead poet's society, World's greatest dad) but I get fed up with his apparant inability to turn down a script. "RV" "Man of the year" License to wed." Not to mention "Old dogs."

I just can't believe that we really don't know anything yet. Nolan really can keep a tight lid.

I'm becoming more skeptical of Strange appearing as I continue to read through his appearances in the comics. Batman Begins takes a lot of things Strange has done and transplants them onto the context of the film and it's characters.

I'd love to see Strange, but I agree with this thought.

Honestly I can't see why everyone is wanting Williams to be in the next Batman film. I like him just as much as the next person but his more serious roles, while good, weren't all that special. He's no chameleon as some of you are suggesting.

In Insomnia I think he did a good job but the praise I think mainly comes from the fact that it was a shocking role for him to pick up. Personally I can't see him as any villian in a comic film, I would just be seeing Williams the whole time.

Insomnia.
One Hour Photo.
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

Those are my references for why I think he'd make a great Batman villain.

It's a shame that you'd be unable to look past the actor and see the character. But if he's not acting like Robin Williams, then I don't understand why you'd see Robin Williams.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Williams was amazing in One Hour Photo. Frightening and tragic.

I've seen all of his more serious movies including that one where he splices people's memories for their funeral video.

In regards to the bold, just because he's not being loud and zany like usual doesn't mean he disappeared into those roles. Insomnia for example, it was basically watching Williams on slow mode as if he were just relaxed and not full of that normal energy we see. I still liked his performance but I just don't think he's anything special when it comes to the more serious roles, maybe it's the roles he's chosen and it's just not the right ones for me to finally be impressed.

[Doctor Who]

I love the ideas of Williams. Besides him though, and if Hardy doesn't become Strange, I've came to like the idea of either Christoph Waltz or Frank Langella for him; they both as well have the acting chops, looks, and honest sound I imagine when reread either Strange Apparitions, The Terror, or Prey.

That's my favorite performance of his and one of my favorite films.
